Struggling with performance or recurring injuries in sport?
When you train or compete, your feet absorb constant impact and load, which can lead to fatigue, reduced performance and ongoing strain through your feet and lower limbs. Sports orthotics help improve how your feet function under pressure, supporting better movement, control and injury prevention — not just short-term relief.
If you’re also dealing with ongoing foot or heel pain, explore our foot pain orthotics to understand how sports orthotics can support both performance and long-term foot health.
How sports orthotics support movement, performance and control
Sports orthotics are designed to improve how your feet function during training and competition, helping you move more efficiently, stay stable under load and perform at your best.
COMMON ISSUES SPORTS ORTHOTICS CAN HELP WITH
Running & overuse injuries
Repetitive impact from running and training can lead to strain through the feet, ankles and lower limbs. Orthotics help improve load distribution and movement efficiency, reducing stress during high-volume activity. Improve comfort and reduce impact with our running orthotics.
Heel pain & plantar fasciitis
High-impact sport can increase strain on the plantar fascia and heel. Orthotics help support the arch and reduce tension through the foot, improving comfort and reducing ongoing stress. Explore our orthotics for heel pain to find the right support for your needs.
Knee, shin and lower limb strain
Poor foot mechanics can contribute to stress through the knees, shins and lower legs during sport. Orthotics help improve alignment and reduce excessive load through these areas. Support better alignment and movement with our knee and leg pain orthotics for everyday activity.
Fatigue & reduced performance
Ongoing strain and inefficient movement can lead to fatigue during training and competition. Orthotics can help maintain performance for longer. Manage fatigue, improve endurance and performance across many sports with our prescribed orthotics for sport.

🎥 How to Record Your Walking Video
To get the perfect prescription, our podiatrists need to see how you walk. Don’t worry — it’s quick and easy! Watch the short video below for a simple guide on how to film your walking video at home.
1. Find a flat, clear space
A hallway, driveway or quiet footpath works well. Make sure the area is clear of obstacles.
2. Set up your phone/camera
Ask a friend or family member to film or place your phone on a stable surface about 3–4 metres away.
3. Walk naturally
Walk away from the camera for 5–6 steps, then turn and walk back towards it.
Repeat this 2–3 times at your normal walking pace.
4. Check your video
Make sure your feet and legs are clearly visible in the frame and the video isn’t shaky or blurry.
5. Upload with your assessment
Attach the video when completing your online assessment and you’re done!
